Valyachan's Nalagamam (Diary) is a valuable source for the history of Syriac Church of Kerala and the social and cultural history of Central Travancore from 1857 to 1896. The main events[2] of that time and the historical course of the Syriac Church were carefully observed and recorded. He Has a habit of writing down all these in his own perspective. Nalagamam helps us to know about the religious moral and cultural standard of living of Nasrani Nasrani community at that time. Construction of Changanassery – Peerumedu road in 1863, establishment of Alappuzha Light House, smallpox disease which killed thousands of people in Changanassery and other places, locust plague on Easter Thursday in 1878, earthquake in 1881, floods in Kuttanad in 1882 and 1883, etc. are all explained in Nalagamam.
